My honest review of the Nail sets 

These nails are the stick on back ones that impress have released previously and I have loved them, unfortunately these nails did come off quicker then I expected them too. I would on the next application add a nail glue so the nails lasted a longer duration. I loved the design and the overall presentation of each design with the "Love" in calligraphy writing to be my favourite. 

I would love if the impress sets would come with the nail glue also so anyone whom is doing heavier duties wont loose the nails so easily. However in some cases I have noticed that some people have used the nails and had no issue. It is my personal opinion but I do feel that the sets would be miles better with the nail glue included as it lasts for a longer time period on my nail and I feel more fabulous when my nails look manicured with a design.

Good Zebra

OUR STORY

Like its namesake animal, Good Zebra animal crackers are intentionally crafted to embrace the beauty of black + white, meaning there’s nothing shady about these little crackers. Since our spirit animal crackers are sweetened naturally with organic honey, they do, however, throw some serious shade on their refined-sugar-filled predecessors. They also up the nutrition ante with 12g of protein per serving. And unlike the caged circus animals of the past – our animals roam free and wild.

Behold: Spirit Animal Crackers.

All 11 animal cracker shapes are inspired by original tattoo art, each with a soul-touching message to enlighten, uplift and empower. Like tattoos, there is an intricacy and high-level of detail that goes into our ingredients and shapes. Every bite and flavor is a bold step away from sugary cookie- industry standards.

Perfect For Traveling

The resealable zip-top bag is mess-free and perfect for traveling. Now you can have a healthy snack anywhere you go.

Chai

Think gingerbread with just a hint of spice.

Chai flavour was a new experience for everyone in my family. All saying the ginger really comes through and it has taste. Its very important to have tasty protein snacks for on the go, especially if training it is essential.

Lemon

Just the right amount of lemon. Our best seller!

I loved the lemony flavour crackers and so did my husband as they were so moorish that by the time you realise they are nearly done.....they are gone. (We shared a pack) so we highly recommend this lemony goodness. Fantastic flavour.

Vanilla

The animal crackers you ate as a kid, but better.

Vanilla was the winner in the taste challenge as the cracker was perfect to not only eat but to to have some texture. Just lightly crushed over porridge or frozen yogurt is divine. 

All in all my USA readers the good zebra company produce fantastic quality snacks. Especially if your training and find you are missing out, on that sweet treat you need just to have and be happy. The flavour's top quality and my husband enjoyed them so much, our house ended up like a scene from the film Mr & Mrs Smith. We could obtain our macros with these snacks and enjoy them without worrying. Plus you don't need to train to enjoy them, just everyone order a pack and see this flavoursome crispy cracker bring a smile to your day.

My spirit animal

Result: Zebra

The yin AND the yang of the animal kingdom, the yay and the nay, black and white—you're the whole package. The individual in the herd, you gallop to the beat of your own drum. Adversity? Simply zig-zag. That's what zebras would do. And by zebra, I mean You.​

Yankee Candles

Ok so summer is here. In the UK we cant rely on the weather and even if the report said "bright sunshine" we always pack for if the worst happened. So I'm just going to indulge in Yankee candles should the worst happen and bring summer inside on those rainy days.

Large classic Jar

The traditional design of our signature classic jar candle reflects a warm, relaxed sense of style that's always at home. Convenient and easy to use, our large jar candle provides 110 to 150 hours of true fragrance enjoyment. 

So as you may know im addicted to Yankee candles now, I love my house smelling of exotic scents or yummy cake smells. I like to get a jar as they are glass so durable plus protects from steam in the bathroom on pamper days. Romantically giving the room a calming feeling via the glass. 

Cupcake 

About This Fragrance

The rich, creamy aroma of vanilla cupcakes with hints of lemon and lots of buttery icing.

This has to be my favourite for those days where its not too warm and looks dreary outside, however inside smells just heavenly. The richness of the vanilla and buttery cream scent is just divine, when you want that sweet but not overwhelming scent that can seem almost sickly sweet. This is a definite all time favourite. Yankee candles has taken this need for moorish sweet treats away. As i have the smell of the cake and brown sugars in my senses, its eliminated the need for me to actually eat them. So its therapeutic in so many ways but its helping my healthy eating plan also.  

Tabacco flower 

About This Fragrance

The spicy sweet, woody scent of tobacco flower.

Guava

About This Fragrance

The delicious, juicy taste of ripe guava, filled with the luscious tropics.

This scent is truly tropical and refreshing with the signature Guava scent being rich and a lovely addition for your summer.  I had no problem with lighting each time, no pooling or welling just hours and house of amazing fragrance. 

Essie Gel Couture

Time to Hit the Red Carpet

Introducing the essie gel couture® platinum grade finish top coat and five stunning new colours. The Gel Couture® range we know and love is back, this season with a platinum finish.

The Essie gel couture® Gala Bolds collection boasts five new permanent shades and a platinum grade finishing top coat with pro-platinum technology that provides impeccable mirror like shine for luxurious long-lasting wear.

The sophisticated Essie Gel Couture® Gala Bolds collection offers a glimpse into a world of quality craftsmanship and artistry. The gel-like formula has an extraordinarily long wear without any harsh removal, features a revolutionary swirled brush for perfect coverage, and comes with no need for a separate base coat as the incredible formula already has it built in to every essie shade.

Is easily applied with a two-step system; first apply 2 coats of your favourite essie shade, before finishing with the platinum grade finish top coat that offers show stopping platinum-grade and long lasting gel-like shine. Be red carpet ready with the following, dazzling shades:

Inside scoop: this sheer tea rose pink with a slight blue undertone keeps you in the know

V.I.please: one wave of your hand wearing this deep, berry violet hinted with red and the world is yours

Style stunner: set it off in this outré bright orange with an underlying red, you’re the centre of attention in any room

Platinum grade finish top coat: this finishing top coat with pro-platinum technology and impeccable gel-like shine is the final stage of your two-step gel couture manicure

As always Essie has hit a winner with these amazingly vivid shades to enhance your look for any occasion. It could be to brighten up a seemingly monotone day look, or coordinating alongside your glamorous nights out. I love each colour with there versatility to do accent nails or nail art to just add an extra wow factor. 

The application is flawless and they do dry fairly quickly, ready for the platinum top coat. The platinum shine is probably the most unique polish I own, as it gives the illusion of a professionally applied manicure. The polish is opaque and astoundingly pigmented bar the "Inside scoop" shade, which requires at least 2-3 layers for the sheer rose pink to give a good colour payoff. However that is my opinion as it does clearly state its meant to be subtle and sheer, so ideal for French manicures.

I loved treating myself to acrylic nails in the past but now with the tightened purse strings, I find doing my nail's as an enjoyable addition to my pamper session's. Overall I'm loving the vibrancy, ease of application plus the new platinum top coat.

They are pigmented even with one coat, apply flawlessly and dry with a beautiful true to shade colour finish. They are versatile shades that can be mixed with other shades from Essie, to brighten or have a neutral look depending on the event your attending. 

As the sun was shining I decided to do some nail art, taping off half the nail then using each shade having the glitter tip to really pop the colour. I love the effect and was impressed by the longevity of this collection with no chips or need to touch up the polish. Fantastic collection and this is the first part of my Essie series. I will have a review and more nail art with the vibrant new Gel Couture shades plus highlight four of the treatment polishes for brittle nails with tips on great nail health.
